Promises

What happened to those promises?
Those promises from when we were untouched
Untouched by this world, still laced with wonder
Innocence as a child beams with a smile so bright
So fierce that it could rival the sun

What happened to those promises?
Pinky promises from when smiles weren't masks
Masks to hide the truth of broken promises

pieces                                        fallen                          trying
revive
    to                                             what              we
lost
                                                                 shattered
   fractured                   broken

RUINED

Growing up huh, kinda *****

What we've lost

You don't know what you have until you've lost it
Those small, fleeting moments, you never held on
You take it all for granted thinking it will stay
...
But once its lost its not coming back
Somehow you just have to live knowing that
That you had more time
You just chose not to spend it doing something better
Chose not to spend it with the people you love
Left with simple echoes, just reminders of the choices you made
...
Wishing to turn back the clock
Imagining if you hold your breath long enough
you might just stop time
But the past is gone
And now you just have to live with it
live with what you've lost

Daedalus and Icarus

Stop to think before you act
As everyone had always said
When surrendering to the dark
Silence grows heavy
Thoughts begin to spiral
Right before bed
Moon comes by as an old friend
Drawing soft shadows along the wall
Bringing light even to the dimmest flames
Yet one night moon never comes
She waits by bedside
Without the moon's warm light
Darkness begins to tug at her
Until she succumbs to its promise
Of an eternal flame
Not meant to warm
Simply to blind those who fly too close to the sun

Inspired by the myth Daedalus and Icarus

Birthday Wishes

Before she turned 18 she made a wish that once she was gone no one would remember
But...
She was once 14 when she wished for flight or super strength
Then things became tough
She turned 15 wished for invisibility
When that didn't come
She turned 16 wishing for a chance at happiness
Yet nothing came
She turned 17 with a wish of death
...
She turned 18 and got her wish

Nightmares

Nightmares to another place
A place I call home…
Called home
To dream again was to face it
To look away was to be free
Yet that ache would never dull
The farther I ran, the more it would pound
Engulfing my skull until
Until it wasn’t enough
Until I became my greatest fear

— The End —
